It's Alive! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68jimmy · 09-04-2006, 01:21 PM

As some of you may remember back in January of this year my 68 gmc was rearended while parked in front of my house. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=185669

Well after many months and a few $$ it lives and drives once again! I just completed the front disc brakes and got it aligned last week. Here are a few updated pics... Enjoy

And thanks to everyone here for the inspiration and great tips!!

Wasn't it blue before or is that my imagination acting up again?

just your imagination... it's always been white except that the previous grill and bumper were painted a silver/gray...

great Job, I love the stance. What drop combo did you use? Btw, I got the door on mine now and am awaiting time and money to start the body work to start making it look good. I might be interested in your passenger side door to.
